Thinking about life after you pass may seem morbid, but it’s a sensible concept to consider that’s practical and beneficial for your loved ones. Many people choose to plan their own funeral by using the help of an experienced funeral service, reducing stress and ensuring all your wishes are met.
But what does this involve and what are the benefits? Read on to find out more.
What is a pre paid funeral?
A pre paid funeral, as the name suggests, is a service that allows you to arrange your funeral before you pass away. This means making decisions about all aspects of your funeral, such as choosing a burial or cremation and the type of casket or urn you would like. Most plans come with two options, either paying for the entire funeral in full or in monthly instalments – both of which can beat the rising funeral costs.
The benefits of prepaid funerals
● Less stress – Planning a funeral can be very difficult especially while grieving at the same time. However, a pre paid funeral can relieve this stress, give your family peace of mind and prevent family arguments too.
● More control – One of the biggest advantages of pre paid funerals is the increased control you will have over the arrangements. It can be hard for your family to know exactly what you want if you haven’t spoken about it, but this way you can choose every detail and plan the type of funeral you’d like.
● Beat rising costs – Like most things, the cost of a funeral can fluctuate greatly, not only in terms of the average rate but depending on the services you require too. Rising costs mean that your family and friends may struggle to fund your funeral and this can create a huge financial burden. Paying for your funeral beforehand
